The Open-Shop Problem is a hard problem that can be solved using Constraint Programming or Operation Research methods. Existing techniques are efficient at reducing the search tree...
Business Process Management (BPM) is often a key component of the business change. Business rules, whether embedded within BPM or on their own, have begun playing an ever-increasi...
Many important combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems with soft constraints. When problems are too difficult to be solved exactly,...
We present a model, based on the maximum entropy method, for analyzing various measures of retrieval performance such as average precision, R-precision, and precision-at-cutoffs....
A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...
